| World Record for Axis Network Camera Axis Communications has set a world record with the world's highest wireless network. An Axis network camera delivered high quality images to Earth from 35,000 metres after being sent into the atmosphere by a stratospheric balloon from the Esrange Space Centre in the north of Sweden. The Esrange Space Centre at the Swedish Space Corporation sent a high altitude balloon equipped with atmospheric physics research tools up to 35,000 metres. When the tests were completed the 100,000m³ balloon was brought down with three parachutes. Unique to this launch was that the parachutes were equipped with a network camera from Axis Communications, the AXIS Q6034-E, which made it possible for the researchers to validate the parachute system and the landing with high quality images in real time from Earth. The balloon landed in northern Finland, which required the wireless network to have a reach of 400 km. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
